Earth Angel

Faced with several challenges, and running out of time, I finally figured out a way to meet them with this one project...meet Earth Angel!

Now, my Steampunk challenge at SanDee and Amelie's is to do something using my favorite technique. One of my favorites is to use distress stains and make ribbons. I also love playing with my markers and doing some "water coloring".

I took it a bit further and stained my wings for an art showing also.

Now, to meet the Big Stamp challenge at Simon Says, I used the earth angel stamp and water colored it with my Tim Holtz markers. I love how easy this is to do using a water brush.

Made a little top hat for her, and added gears to give her more of a steampunk twist,and I think she is ready to fly!

This piece is stunning! I adore those vibrant jewel tones that you used. I also really like how you colored the feathers. I would've never thought to do that and I always get such great inspiration and ideas when I swing by your blog. Really creative piece and I'm so glad you shared it with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!

Wonderful! The wings are a pretty addition. Thank you for joining us for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. I hope that you'll be able to join us this week too for our "yellow" challenge. Thanks again. I loved seeing your work, Maura. ~Michelle
